Love Struck

Chapter 98 - Night Watch

Ghost's POV 11:45pm

It's been a few hours alone with Dom and we have been watching Silver and Blaze for the time being. I don't think we can trust the girl.

"You awake?" I asked while hitting Dom's shoulder.

"Yeah." He replied while sitting up.

"How long are we doing this?" He asked back.

"Until the flight." I replied.

Dom took a deep breath and asked.

"Do you think they'll try something?"

"One can only believe so." I replied.

"I don't believe Silver would risk it." Stated Dom.

"I think the wife will." I stated.

Dom nodded his head as I continued to look at my laptop.

We had cameras placed inside the house so we could hear and see anything being said or done in the house.

"What happens if they do try to get help from G.U.N? Do we kill them?" Asked Dom.

"I would believe not, but how about we make sure?" I asked back.

Dom stretched as I got out my cell phone.

Quickly I dialed Raptor's number.

"Ring! Ring! Ring!"

"Hello?" I heard from the other side of the phone.

"Hey Raptor listen." I said as I readied myself.

"You know G.U.N could be monitoring this call Ghost." Stated Raptor.

"I got the line secure on my laptop don't worry." I replied.

"Alright, what's up? How's the states treating you and Dom?" He asked.

"Everything is going ok for now, but I called to ask if one of the targets makes a move to get help are me and Dom aloud to use force?" I asked.

Raptor went silent and quickly I said.

"Just get Shadow on the line so I can ask him."

Immediately Raptor replied.

"He's asleep."

"So what's the call?" I asked.

Raptor took a minute to come up with an answer.

"Don't kill them or hurt them unless they try to hurt you."

"Alright thanks." I said he went silent.

"Are you ok?" Asked Raptor.

"How's Dove?" I asked just wanting to solely know that.

Again Raptor took a minute to respond and suddenly he replied.

"She's fine. Asleep I think. Why?"

"Just wanted to know." I replied.

"Alright. Good luck. Come back soon." Said Raptor in a comforting tone.

"I will. See you in a few days." I replied while hanging up.

As I lowered the phone Dom asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." I replied in a sad tone.

"Something is. What's happened between you and Dove?" Asked Dom.

"I don't want to talk about it." I replied.

"Come on Ghost. I told you my girl troubles. Plus I'm your friend. And it will make you feel better not having it bottled up." Stated Dom.

I let out a small breath and slowly looked at Dom who waited.

"I had a fight with her before I left." I stated.

"She didn't want you to do this?" Asked Dom.

I nodded.

"I lost my grip and hit her." I stated.

Dom widened his eyes in shock.

"What!?" He asked.

I nodded and as Dom want to ask another question the front door to Silver's house opened.

"Wait! Look!" I ordered Dom as he was still in shock.

It was Blaze. Where the hell is she going this late?

She started to head down the street and quickly I opened my door.

"Stay here and make sure no one else enters or leaves that house." I ordered him while shutting my door.

Dom was still shocked and I quickly took off after Blaze.

I stayed a good thirty feet back from her as she entered the town.

As we got deeper into the town I realized this place had some gangs.

"What the hell is she doing around here?" I asked as I walked by a gang who stared at me in anger.

Blaze quickly turned a corner and I kept following behind. The second I made the corner she did she was gone.

Quickly I looked around and walked forward to find an alley.

I glanced to find Blaze turning down there.

Immediately I ran after her to stop in my tracks at the corner where she stood.

"Do you have my money?" Asked a man.

"I got some of it." Replied Blaze.

I slowly glanced to see a gang of men in front of her.

"How much?" He asked.

Blaze slowly went into her jacket to pull out an envelope.

I widened my eyes to see it was the one I gave Silver.

I had no choice now. I couldn't risk it.

Quickly I pulled out my M9 I had under my shirt and waited as the man slapped Blaze across the face sending her to the ground.

"This is shit cash! I need all of it!" He shouted.

"I can't get it all in the time your giving me!" Stated Blaze with blood on her lip.

"Get her up!" Ordered the leader.

Two men grabbed Blaze and slammed her into the wall.

"I could easily come to your house and burn it down with you, your son, and that so called Doctor!" He threatened.

"Please I just need some more time!" Admitted Blaze.

"I gave you three months!" Stated the man.

"Just a little longer!" Begged Blaze.

"No! I'm done letting you screw me! Your paying right now!" Stated the man while looking at his men.

His men immediately turned Blaze around and went for her pants.

I watched as the leader got behind her.

"Time for me to screw you." He stated while going for his pants.

"No! Stop please!" She begged.

I continued to watch as one of the men grabbed her mouth.

Blaze gagged for air as the leader went for her underwear.

I can't let this happen.

Immediately I turned the corner and pulled the trigger.

"BANG!"

The round went sailing straight into the leaders head sending him right into the ground next to his men.

The men instantly released Blaze and Blaze went straight down in fear as the men charged me.

"BANG!"

I shot one in the chest knocking him onto the ground, but one of the others grabbed my hand causing me to lose my gun.

It landed on the floor as he swung.

The power of this man sent me to the side as my lip began to bleed.

As he went for another the second man punched me in my chest causing me to bend over.

The second I bent done the big guy slammed his elbow down on my head knocking me to the ground.

Quickly I spit up some more blood as the big guy grabbed me by the back of my head.

I was quickly raised to my feet and he sent his fist at me.

Quickly I grabbed his forearm to stop it and I brought my elbow on the second guy's face sending him to the wall.

As the second guy staggered to get himself together I dealt with the big guy.

Roughly I released his arm and sent my fist into his face.

The man ate it not moving a inch and my eyes widened in confusion.

I quickly swung again and he didn't move.

As I went for a third punch he grabbed my arm and raised me up.

The man then tossed me into the nearby trash cans.

I was covered in trash as he approached me.

Roughly I was brought back up by my neck and quickly he tossed me at his friend who grabbed me from behind.

I struggled to get out as he held my arms and I watched as the big guy picked up a plank of wood from the garbage.

My eyes widened in fear as he prepared to swing.

As the plank raised I head butted the guy holding me.

He released my arms and the plank came in fast as I rolled aside.

"SMACK!"

The plank broke on his buddies head and he was sent to the ground out cold.

The big guy was confused as I stood up to face him.

He smiled widely and began to approach me.

I readied myself as he swung again.

Quickly I dodged it and sent my fist into his chest.

The man was a wall and ate my strength.

As I went to retracted he sent his elbow to my face knocking me face first into the wall.

My nose cracked against the brick and began to bleed as I felt the man grab my back.

Immediately he took me in a choke hold and began to squeeze the life out of me.

As I struggled to gain control I remembered my knife.

I quickly let my right hand drop and as fast as I could I grabbed the blade and slammed it into the man's stomach.

"Aghhhh!" He gagged as I left the blade in his body.

I caught my breath and watched as the guy put his hand on the blade.

His face turned red as he ripped it out.

Blood dripped down his shirt and pants as he smiled at me with my blade in hand.

Slowly I tilted my head.

"Come on!" I said in disbelief of this guy.

The man smiled and lunged the blade at my chest.

Quickly I jumped back as he swung it at my face.

Again I leaned backwards to watch the blade barely miss me and as soon as it was by I went for it.

My hands wrapped around his mitts and I tried to tear it away from his grip.

To my efforts the man lifted me up off my feet and smiled as he pushed upwards.

My eyes widened as I felt the tip of the blade enter my side.

"Aghhhhhhh!" I gagged in pain as the man pushed it all in.

Blood dripped out from my mouth and with everything I had I pushed up.

My body slowly came out from the knife and the second I felt the steel leave me I raised my foot.

My shoe hit the man in the face sending him backwards into the alley and as I was released I fell next to my gun.

I quickly took it in my hands as I heard the man charging with the blade.

"AHHHHHHHH!" The man screamed as he ran at me with the knife.

As fast as I could I looked up with the gun and aimed.

"BANG! BANG! BANG!"

The rounds hit the man's chest and I got one last shot off.

"BANG!"

The steel entered the mans skull killing him instantly.

I braced myself as his body fell on top of me.

I was being crushed and with all I had left I shoved the dead giant off me and onto the floor.

Slowly I got up and looked at the tank of a man who rested calmly dead.

"Ughhhh!" I heard one of the men cough in pain from behind me.

Quickly I turned to find one of the men on the ground with a bullet in his chest.

Slowly I approached him and aimed the gun.

"No! No! No! Don't please!" He begged.

"BANG!"

His brains splattered on the concrete and gently I grabbed my side which bled horribly.

I felt a few drops of blood fall off my nose and mouth as most of it rolled down my pants and onto the floor.

Slowly I looked at Blaze who stared at me in shock and tears.

I approached while putting my gun away and slowly I reached for her hand.

She took it scared and I gently lifted her up into my arms.

"Come on." I ordered her as I began to head out of the alley.

As she walked with me I took back my knife and stuffed it behind my back.

After I regained control I began to head for the exit to this alley.

Before we could exit I had to let go and fall on the floor.

"Aghhhhhh!" I screamed in agony.

Blaze got on her knees and placed her hands on my back as blood hit the floor.

"I need to get you to Silver."

"Just go!" I ordered her.

"No!" She shouted as she attempted to pick me up.

I couldn't fight her and slowly I was lifted up and taken out of the alley.

Blaze guided me past the gang that stared in shock and we quickly rushed back to the safe end of the town.

As we approached Silver's house I fell again and this time I couldn't get up.

Blaze went for my arm but I wouldn't budge.

"GHOST!" I heard Dom shout as he ran at us from the car.

Immediately Dom asked.

"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO HIM!?"

I coughed up more and more blood as Blaze replied.

"We need to get him inside!"

Dom wasn't going to argue as I was bleeding out and immediately they both took me into the house.

"SILVER!" Screamed Blaze while taking me into the kitchen.

The second she screamed for him Silver ran down the stairs in his pajamas.

"What's wrong!" He asked while locking his eyes on me.

"Ghost!?" He shouted in shock as I was lifted onto the table.

"He was stabbed Silver! He needs help now!" Shouted Blaze as Silver ran for his gear.

"How was he stabbed!?" Asked Dom in disbelief.

"I'll explain after he's safe!" Shouted Blaze while Dom held my side.

In a few seconds of me coughing up blood Silver came back with his med kit.

"Let go of the wound!" He ordered Dom.

Dom fell back as Silver took his clamp.

Quickly he stretched open my side causing me to screamed but Dom grabbed my mouth.

As he held me shut Silver grabbed the cause of blood loss.

"Relax Ghost!" He ordered as he shut the wound tight.

As he closed my artery Blaze held my hand.

I stared at her as Silver went to stitch me.

During the process I passed out.

Dom's POV

Silver cut the string and stepped back as I looked at Blaze.

"What the fuck happened!?" I asked.

Blaze hesitated as Silver looked at her lip.

"What happened honey?" He asked as he wiped off the blood.

"I went into town to get some things for work and I was jumped by a small gang of men." Stated Blaze in tears.

Silver was shocked as Blaze continued.

"I was dragged into a alley and they stole my money and almost raped me."

Silver and me both widened our eyes in shock as she finished.

"It would have happened if he didn't save me." Said Blaze while looking at Ghost who was out cold.

Silver slowly found a seat and rested in shock.

He didn't move nor say a word as I looked at Ghost.

I took a deep breath in anger and then made my way outside.

Quickly I pulled out my cell phone to dial Raptor.

"Ring! Ring! Ring!"

"Hello?" It was him again.

"Raptor it's Dom." I stated.

Raptor's POV 1:00pm

I hung up the phone in shock and slowly I stood up to head for my door.

The base was busy and I had to find her.

As I searched I found her talking with Marx outside the research wing.

As I approached they looked at me knowing something was wrong.

"What's wrong Raptor?" Asked Dove as I stopped in front of her.

I lowered my head and slowly looked back into her purple eyes.

"Dom just called me." I stated.

The pair widened their eyes as I finished.

"Ghost was stabbed."
